Our first time at Bay Fort Mansions and we were extremely pleased with the apartment which was on the top floor. There are 2 bedrooms with double beds and one contained a childs bunk bed over the top. The apartment is modern and well maintained and very well equipped. The views out over the bay are superb and if you don't feel like going out there is a nice balcony with room for 2 to sit on. You have a widescreen TV and a Bluray player. A laundry is situated on the ground floor if you need a washing machine etc. You have use of a communal garden and nearby there are several cafes plus the usual Torquay shops. There is a garage for your personal use which is very useful as street parking is not always available. You have to be aware there are a LOT of steps both outside and inside the building. If you are elderly or infirm you need to take this into account especially when you arrive or depart with your luggage. The building manager is very helpful if you have any query.

Unsurpassed views - you could watch this and marvel at the vast expanse of sea every day.
Very clean and well presented - nice quality furnishings and the cream tea and milk on arrival was much appreciated. Biscuits and satchets of tea, coffee and hot chocolate also provided as was bath shower creams.
Beds are comfy and bed linen and duvets are of a higher quality than other places we have stayed in. Slept very well.
Although it is high up and a bit of a trek down to sea and town we quickly found an easier way to do this but it would not be ideal for elderly or infirm people. No lifts in the building so be prepared to carry your luggage up lots of steps - but worth it when you get it there.
Overall a lovely stay and we would recommend very highly.

The apartment is to die for. Spotlessly clean. Very comfortable and modern. (Looks newly refurbed) Loved the ceilings! And the breathtaking views of the whole bay. We booked two more stays for 2019 on our first day there! But don’t tell anyone. Let’s keep this rare find a secret...

Superb apartment with breathtaking views, however, you do have to work for it, this apartment is for the reasonably fit and reaching it requires many steps, but views like this are worth the effort, and the garage is an added bonus along with the welcome goodies, Mark is a wonderful host who has pretty much covered everything.
The bed in the second room is a little small, and the boiler is a little temperamental, but Mark is on hand just in case

A beautiful clean apartment. Loved the view from the cosy balcony. The apartment was well equipped with everything one could possibly need or had forgotten to bring. Scones on arrival were much appreciated. Would love to stay again.

Bay Fort Mansions is a lovely Victorian villa sympathetically converted into holiday accommodation overlooking Torquay marina, Torre Sands and the sea. It is a short walk to both the beach and the town centre.

The apartment is very clean, modern and bright and a pleasure to stay in especially with the view! The long uphill walk either thru Rock Walk/Garden or Shedden Hill is further than expected plus further stairs inside the building to reach the apartment! Torquay is a very nice town, lots of lovely walks and places to eat. The wine bars and especially Bistro Pierre at Abbey Sands are well worth visiting!

For a very good fixed price meal with excellent quick service and sea views Â£15 for two courses try Pierre’s Bistro on the corner below the apartment. Book during busy months. Â£5 for an all day ticket on the bus - visit all resorts. Â£5 for a taxi back up the hill if the climb is too much.

We enjoyed relaxing in the property looking at the amazing view.You definitely need to be fit enough to climb the stairs and if you do not wish to use the car to be fit enough to go up and down the rock walk to Torquay. We enjoyed visiting Living Coasts, Berry Head, Brixham and taking the train to Exeter.
